Backtrack to 4.3.2014: New Orleans, LA to Panama City, FL

This post has been stuck in "edit" mode for more than a year.
What was my road block?
I'm not sure -- maybe I ran out of gas and couldn't find my AAA card.

Anyhow.

As mentioned in the last post, Waterlogue now has a spiffy desktop version. I've updated a bunch of the original Edge waterlogues [for some art exhibition opportunities], and am now working on a new set and uploading them to Saatchi Art. It's been enjoyable having my head back "on the road". And perhaps the road block has cleared.

Backtrack to 3.27.2014 Los Angeles to Eloy, AZ

I was supposed to keep a journal during my 2014 circumnavigation around the US.
This did not happen.
I didn't prep the pages in a timely manner, and all sorts of other excuses.

I am FINALLY getting it done and here is my first day's "journal", "memoir", whatever you want to call it. Not reducing the photos so you can click on them to embiggen and read the text.

Update: On the Edge, The Journal

I have found a great way to procrastinate on the Fashion Illustration exhibition that I'm "supposed" to be working on, due in December.

Working on my "journal" that I meant to keep during the 2014 Edge trip!

Is it still a journal if I work on it two years after the journey?
Maybe it's a memoir now.

I left you hanging in New Orleans on my last 2014 Roadtrip Recap post,
not a bad place to be, by any means.

I'm getting the pages prepped with gesso. Then I'll adhere the ephemera. Most of the maps were glued into place back in May 2014. Somehow I missed a section of Montana and Idaho (Washington is already glued in) so I'll have to make an extension page. Fun times.

I've had some good help sorting the ephemera:

What is it with cats and paper? They always plop down in the middle of it! 

Eventually, I'll get the Roadtrip Recaps rolling again, this time with the journal pages as headers. So we will all know where we are on the map. I will resume the recaps with Day 8, NOLA to Panama City, FL. Stay tuned! See it in photos over on Flickr now, if you're feeling impatient.
